And I tried, I took the power back, driving by an infinite amount of agony and ache. The cold metal was now in my shaky hands, and my eyes burned with fury.
The tables had turned, and the hunter had become the hunted.
“You’re not in control here. It’s my turn now.”
Lukas smiled, glancing behind me as if someone were hiding. “Oh, my Little Angel, it’s true I’m not the one in control here, but my dear, it’s not your turn.”

Those damn gunshots were so loud around when we entered the area where most guards were on a break.
Fucking red everywhere, blood and corpses lying dead on the ground.
Death and carnage lying beneath my boots.
Niko and I took down anyone in our way just like when we were in Russia, together we’re like the fucking Horsemen of the apocalypse.
Our men provided cover from behind while we took all of them idiots down, but then, when I reached back to ensure Zanae was protected by me, I felt nothing.
She was gone.
She was FUCKING GONE.
I needed to find her now; panic seized my chest so hard; I could’ve died from it.
“ZANAE!”
My voice reverberated through the long corridors as I sprinted back on my steps, Nikolai following closely behind. Every step felt like an eternity, the hallway stretching infinitely before me.
We rushed up the stairs; she can’t be in danger.
Fuck, please don’t be hurt, Milaya.
A gunshot echoed from one of the rooms upstairs.
Nikolai looked at me with the most anxious gaze I’ve ever seen on his face.
I felt it too, fucking urgency and fear. I shot the locker, and the room opened to a disorienting scene.
Zanae lay on the floor, in a pool of blood.
My Zanae, my fucking Zanae, eyes closed on the fucking ground.
Shot.
Someone shot my woman.
Demise and slaughter blurred my vision.
My Zanae was dying.
10.
Amber and Red, Death and Life, Nightmares and Dreams. It all became one, drowning me in an ocean of chaos and madness.
She was dying.
I can’t fucking breathe.
